Poland to Alkborough - Colour banded Dunlin

Not the best of photos but this colour banded Dunlin was found amongst other Dunlin at Alkborough Flats last weekend.  It was near impossible to read the letters on the white band through the scope as the bird was constantly on the move.  That's where digiscoping with a camera capable of shooting 9 frames a second comes in handy.  After taking a couple of hundred shots of the bird and then going through them that night on the PC I eventually found this photo where it was possible to read the letters.

A quick e-mail revealed that the bird was ringed this year on the Vistula Estuary in northern Poland.
